Abstract

Reestablishment of the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) as a breeding bird in the eastern United States is a highlight in endangered species management and recovery programs. We examined numbers of pairs, reproductive success, and eggshell thinning of a reestablished peregrine falcon population in New Jersey during 1979-88. Productivity of these falcons (x=1.38 yound fledged/pair) was comparable with that of stable populations, but productivity was lower (P=0.02) for pairs near Delaware Bay and River (0.58 young/pair) compared to those in other regions of New Jersey (1.55 young/pair)
